I guess I'm of a certain vintage in programming these days. This is a common practice for me.

Often the IDE tooling for certain languages doesn't work for me. It's too bloated or slow. I write my own tools instead. They're fast and tailored to my workflow. Custom debuggers, analyzers, etc.

I often need to perform certain tasks... sometimes they don't warrant any kind of automation. However I'll often write snippets of code in a literate `org-mode` file as I work and write down what I was doing/why, etc. Occasionally these will get tangled into a proper script that becomes the automation.

I grew up in an era when computers only came with a manual and a bare bones operating system. Writing your own tools was part of the experience from that time which stuck with me.
